===Setting Up Your C16===
C16s connect directly to your EDS card via CAT5 (Ethernet) cable. Unless you want visual feedback from your MEC's indicator lights (some users don't) or need to access the hardware for re-patching, the C16 is the only part of PARIS' hardware you'll really need to have physical access to. Fortunately the C16's cable can be quite long (20' is absolutely fine) which allows you to move the rest of your PARIS equipment to an isolation box or dedicated "machine room" (assuming adequate ventilation), or even a separate room.
Certain things can potentially kill your C16 (and quite possibly your EDS card or even your motherboard) PERMANENTLY, so it's essential to remember the two C16 DON'Ts:
- DON'T use a "crossover" CAT5 cable. This will a) not work and b) very likely fry something. Regular CAT5 cable only! If you have any unlabeled crossover cables in your collection. identify them, mark them and avoid them; considering the low price of CAT5 cables it's a far better idea to buy a new dedicated cable for your C16 than to take the chance of potentially fatal damage to your PARIS rig.
- DON'T "hot-plug" your C16. They're not designed to be plugged in or unplugged while the computer is on. The potential consequences are similar to using a crossover cable, so always turn off your computer before plugging or unplugging either end of your C16's cable.
One more caveat to bear in mind - virtually all PARIS hardware is now either over a decade old (even the most recently released PARIS hardware is now approaching it). The C16 uses rotary encoders instead of potentiometers, and years of internal abrasion in normal use leaves tiny particles of metal rubbed off of the "wipers" of the encoder floating free inside them.
This can (and in fact, eventually //will//) cause one or more knobs to send "jumping" or "sticky" values, or fail to operate at all. The good news is that the minor servicing required to correct this can be done by any reasonably careful user. This is covered in a great "DIY" [[CeeSixteenRepair C16 servicing document]] by Aaron Allen.

Additions:
Learning to operate PARIS via your C16 offers many benefits. It minimizes the amount of time you need to spend changing your workplane by reaching for mouse or keyboard; C16 commands (unlike key commands) are consistent across Mac and PC, which eases transition between platforms; certain functions which can only be accessed via the C16 (such as the jog/shuttle wheel) quickly become essential parts of one's workflow. Some operations such as the transport are self-explanatory; others require combinations of buttons to work.
